Yes, I got a good price. Just because a is dated, doesn’t mean it doesn’t work. I know a guy that looks for 30 yo analog aids, because he likes them. Easy for him, his loss is almost flat.
I go to the ear doctor, but I don’t normally see the audiologist.
I have had a bone removed from my left ear. There is a cavity that holds moisture, so it needs to be cleaned out sometimes. My right ear developed loss on its own. The curves are almost identical.
I use direct to program my aids. Being in audio and RF all my life I understand db, dynamic range, compression, etc. I know what I hear, the audiologist kind of knows. You can’t fix dead regions, but you can try to band-aid them. That is probably why they are called hearing aids. They don’t make your hearing normal. They try to compensate for your loss. They can’t fix a loss of dynamic range. I sure wish they could!
